Watching the worst movies that you can imagine

Daniel Barnes @ the SN&R (4/23 issue)

*Alex Garland’s sleek sci-fi chamber play Ex Machina works best as a showcase for Oscar Isaac, who reimagines the evil scientist as a socially isolated scumbag jock, equal parts Victor Frankenstein and Frank T.J. Mackie.

*The Oscar-nominated documentary The Salt of the Earth charts the 40-year career of Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado. The venerable German filmmaker and documentarian Wim Wenders co-directs, but you get the impression he only came aboard to shape decades of disparate material into this coffee table book of a movie.
